Handling and Loading of Insensitive Munition  (IM)

 

General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems-Canada’s (GDOTS Canada) involvement with Insensitive Munitions (IM) including ignition systems, propulsion systems and high explosives, dates to the 1980’s. Processing expertise was developed in the area of cast-cure Plastic Bonded Explosives (PBX) based on nitramines (RDX and HMX) in a polymeric binder with Canadian, American, British and French formulations. Vacuum casting of PBX can be performed using a batch process and either a two or ten U.S. gallon planetary mixer. A continuous process pilot line using a bi-component equipment and static mixer is also available.
